The annual meeting of the Florida Alumni
Association of the Alpha Tau Omega Fraterni-
ty, was in this city on last Friday, the 22d inst.
There were fourteen members in attendance,
and all seemed thoroughly imbued with the true
fraternity spirit.
The Association was presided over by Mr..
T. NJ. Scott, State Alumni Worthy Master for
the past year.
Reports from the several committees were
submitted, and showed the work of the order in
Florida to be in an encouraging condition.
An interesting feature of the meeting was the
report by Prof Felkel of the Biennial Congress
held in Atlanta last December.
There was some apprehension felt by the
members of the Association in Tallahassee, that
the place of meeting would be changed to some
other point in the State, inasmuch as the home
of the Alpha Omega Chapter had been removed.
We feel confident in asserting, however, that as
long as there are so many unmarried Alumni in
the State and so many fascinating young ladies
In Tallahassee, there is no danger of such con-
tingency.
As an entertainment to the visiting brothers,
hop was given at the Leon, which proved one
of the social events of the season.
These annual meetings of this Association
may now be looked upon as one of the fixed in-
situations OF the State. The Alpha Taus of
Florida are as high-toned and energetic a set of
fellows as can be found anywhere, and the peo
Pile of the capital city have due appreciation of
their worth.
The officers of the Association elected for the
ensuing year, are as follows:
Worthy Master-Geo. L. Drew
Worthy Chaplain-W. NJ. Mcintosh, Jr.
Worthy Keeper Ex.-H. E. Graham.
Worthy Keeper Annals-T. n. Scott
Worthy Scribe-H N. Felkel.
The following constitute the Executive Gem
mittee:

A Troublesome ID. d.

Rev. DR.. Parker, who came to this
country from England last fall herald
ed as the eulogist and probable sue
cessOr of Beecher, has succeeded in
attracting considerable and not alto
gether favorable attention. Major
Pond, his business agent in this cOun-
try, is having no end of trouble with
the reverend doctor, who is cancelling
his lecture engagements right and left
on the pretext that his strength has
failed. There is also a row over the
Beecher eulOgy. 1t was supposed that
the money received from the audience
would go toward the Beecher memo
rial, DR.. Parker giving his services,
but it now transpires that the doctor
demanded and received the modest
sum of $500 for his eulOgy, and it is
claimed that he also received $3.50
from q publishers syndicate for the
of the eulOgy. DR.. Parker
was announced to preach at Plymouth
church next Sunday but such is the
feeling against him in Brooklyn that
the people will probably save him the
trouble of breaking this engagement.
1t is pretty clear that DR.. Parker was
not a success either as pulpit candi-
date or as lecturer.

Vermont Farms Not Worn Out.
Rutland Herald.

The Vermont farms are not worn
out. On the contrary, most of them
are very fertile and productive when
intelligently farmed. And the time is
near, if it has not already been reached,
when a good farmer can do better here
than he can by taking up new land in
the West. There must soon be IA check
to the tide of emigration and probably
there will be refiux. Our local mar
kets are better than they were few
years ago and the city markets near us
are reached at a lower cost. Money is

Save Postage.

The post Office department. is causing
no end of Inconvenience and expense
by recent rigid Interpretation of the
law with reference to printing upon
third and fourth class matter. This
new ruling falls with severity upon
news agents, book sellers, publishers,
druggists, and the many trades which
use the mails for distributing goods.
Most business firms now have their
business as we'll as their names and
residence printed on their envelopes,
labels, tags, etc. This is not now
permissible on second, third and fourth
class matter. For example: Hereto
fore the envelope, label or tag on print
ed matter or merchandise could read
"Return to DR.. Toothacher, (Dentist)
Lee, Kansas, if not called for in 10
days" Or, "From Sam Jones, (Ma-
chinist) Barnet, VT" Or, "JOhn Smith,
(BOokseller) Akron, Ohio" By the
new ruling the words in parenthesis
are prohibited and subject the whole
package to letter postage, which can
he collected of the sender or the person
sent to. In short, the department
won't allow a man to advertise his
business through the mails for any
thing less than letter postage. The
postage law is given elsewhere in this
paper which it will be we'll to study,
and alse to lay aside for future refer
ence.

WATERFORD.

In the death of Mrs. Armenia (Jos-
liu) BallOu this town loses one of it's
oldest native born inhabitants. She
was born March IA, 1903, the fifth
child to James and Leafe JOslin, on
the farm now owned and occupied by
Mrs. r. o. Goss and son. In 1928 she
married Moses Wiley of Kirby. To
this union was born, Nov. 5, 1881,
James Wiley, who died March IL,
1893. After the death of the husband,
which occurred July l. 1887, she re-
turned to Waterford where she lived
till September 1889, when she married
Aaron BallOu of Dalton, N. Fl. TO this
union there were no children born.
Since the death of Mr.. BallOu in 1865
she has lived most of the time in this
town, spending the last years of her
life with her niece, Mrs. John HOugh-
ton, in whose home she found kind at
tention and care. Although not with
out sufficient means for her support,
her last lonely years were thus made
brighter and happier in her native
town, among her friends and relatives.
Nov. %, 1887, she passed quietly away
at the last to that rest which she trust
ed her Saviour had prepared for her.

The CaIedonian Not Cleft

Nothing short of. a surgical opera
ton can introduce the idea into the
mind of the ordinary partisan news
paper editor that another journal can
possibly have any but ii selfish or mer-
cenary motive in criticising party or
party managers. A paragraph in last
weeks Mortified News suggests these
reflections. That paper comes up pert
and clipper on the action of the repub-
lican state committee in furnishing
metropolitan newspapers to Vermont
readers, TAT the expense of the local
newspaper publisher,) endorsing said
committees action most heartily, and
then arrives at the sage conclusion
that the CaledOnian's criticism of this
movement of the state committee is
actuated by Jealousy because it was
rates."
Bless your dear little soul If the
editor of the News will consult the
chairman of the republican state COM
mittee he will come to the conclusion
that the CaledOnian dares have an
opinion without expectation of pay for
it. He will there learn that this paper
refused this offer of the state commit
tee which has so suddenly unified and
enriched SO many of the state papers,
and that it also respectfully volunteer
ed the opinion to said committee that
its action in this newspaper matter
was both poor business and poor
political investment. Time win tell
if It's prediction be a sound one.

Most Found Guilty.

The jury in the Most case brought
in verdict for conviction Tuesday,
somewhat to the surprise of the public
as the judges charge was considered
to be in MOst's favor. Most's counsel
moved for a new trial and the sentence
was therefore deferred. The most
damaging witness in the case was
Most himself, whose definition of an
archism and what constitutes the anar-
chist gave the jury decidedly graph
ic idea of the dangerous element with
which the country has to,deal. Most
is confident that the verdict will he set
aside in the higher courts.

The Exodus to California.

The rush to California has blOckaded
the avenues of travel, and in the effort
to move the passenger trains on the
Santa Fe road no attention whatever
is given freight trains, and the side
tracks between the Missouri river and
the Golden Gate are filed with loaded
freight cars. The agents West are
telegraphing managers East to send on
more power to move the blockade, but
they are unable to take care of any
thing except the passenger traffic, and
eastern parties who have gone to Cal
ifOrnia expecting their household eff
fects along next train will be lucky if
they geti Their furniture by next spring.
There are disadvantages in everybOdy
trying to go to California the same
fall.
